Suspense 4th Paragraph

The setting and pacing in the 4th paragraph come together to create suspense because of the way that the words were put and the words that were in the paragraph. In the paragraph it moves at a slow pace but goes into great detail about how he moved through the mans room and what he did in there. When he moves “very, very slowly [inside the room]”(poe pg 1) it builds suspense because that paragraph moves at the pace that he does. Since the paragraph moves at a slow speed it builds suspense because you don't know what could happen next. Since he repeats words it also builds suspense because when he moves in side the room he repeats cautiously and he goes into great detail about what he did cautiously. Also there was irony in the text that lead
to there being suspence because when the narrorator and does the nexr morning he “[walked in his room], [talked] to him, and [asked about] his night”(poe pg 2) it is suprising because at one moment he wants to kill him and the next he is making small talk.
